Picture Day Part 3...Venomous

[The Snake Guru]

Thanks much everyone!

To tell you the truth not a lot of people breed copperheads because they considered a pretty "low end" snake. But these have a pretty unique color that I would just like to see how it carries over.

I have no idea. I ended up lost because of that snake...theres more pics in my profile album of some other reptiles from the zoo...but i spent so long looking at this snake my dad (went to the zoo with me) thought i'd gone back to the hotel without him, so he left! i had to figure out how to get back all alone. Thankfully it was only a short walk, i managed...but for a moment it was all panic.

Contortrix is my all time favorite hot. It's also nice to see someone keeping piscivorus as I think it's an underappreciated snake. The hypo version is gorgeous if you've ever seen one.

 

[The Snake Guru]

They really are....lot of people are like "Ehhhh Copperhead or otherwise" personally I think they look awesome! Yeah the Hypos are definitely neat looking....saw they have a "Lucy" one now too....crazy price, but very neat looking!

How do you care for venomous snakes?

 

[The Snake Guru]

Pretty much like anything else, except secure caging is a "must have" and you handle them with hooks instead of your hands. Takes a little getting used to, but venomous are more of a "display" type keep, not a "pet".

I am a huge fan of the copperheads but that gaboon is just amazing! I don't think I will ever be brave enough to have a HOT but I will always drool over them. Thanks for sharing.

 

[The Snake Guru]

Thanks much! Yeah they aren't for everyone.....glad you enjoyed the pics!
